Chapter 173 Something is wrong
Yan Hongyuan led everyone and followed Yang Qing into the dense forest from a distance.
Based on his years of experience working with Manager Huang, he did this because he wanted to watch Yang Qing die.
Although he didn't know how much money Manager Huang spent to hire Yang Qing, he knew that with Manager Huang's shrewd character, he would only give him 30% commission at most before leaving.
As for the rest, you have to wait until the task is completed before paying.
Seeing that Yang Qing is so young, he must have insufficient experience in the martial arts world, so the amount he will be given in advance will probably be even less.
Then as long as Yang Qing "sacrificed", the remaining silver would naturally not have to be given.
Of course, it is not necessary to kill Yang Qing, but it is the most cost-effective to use him to death.
Yan Hongyuan also thought it was extremely cost-effective to spend a little money to let hired cultivators do dangerous tasks.
Moreover, with Yang Qing’s current “disabled” state, even if he found something wrong, Yan Hongyuan would find a way to teach him to face reality.
Looking at Yang Qing's back, Yan Hongyuan sneered, but the next moment, Yang Qing disappeared from his sight.
"Huh!
What a handsome move!"
Yan Hong was surprised and hurried to catch up.
But only the faint sound of a few trees shaking could be heard, and there was no trace of Yang Qing.
As for Yang Qing, after entering the dense forest, he directly used the Lingbo Weibu technique to flash into the depths of the forest, and then his magical power of seeing through the walls appeared.
In an instant, everything in the forest seemed like transparent pictures, falling into Yang Qing's sight one by one.
Flowers, trees, small animals hiding in tree holes, and... a few dark-clawed leopards lurking in the darkness!
This leopard is a natural lurker, and its gray-ink leopard pattern makes it extremely difficult to be spotted when lurking.
Once it hunts, its sharp claws and nimble body will let the prey know how terrifying the predator is.
This is a ferocious beast that can easily hunt first-level evil spirits.
If ordinary low-level cultivators were to explore this dense forest, there would be a high probability that the team would suffer losses.
However, now that these dark-clawed black-striped leopards have been discovered by Yang Qingxian, the identities of the hunters naturally have to be exchanged.
Swish!
After throwing the flying knife, Yang Qing instantly teleported to the side of the dark-clawed black-patterned leopard.
Without giving the opponent any time to react, Yang Qing attacked with his fists and feet.
Bang!Bang!Bang!
With a few dull thuds, Yang Qing quickly broke the spines of these dark-clawed black-patterned leopards.
The move was clean and neat, with no blood or loud noise from fighting.
With their spines broken, these dark-clawed black-striped leopards naturally died.
After taking out the storage bag and putting all the corpses in it, Yang Qing couldn't help but sigh.
It is still more convenient to kill evil spirits. Just explode a filth bead and the problem will be solved. You don’t even need to clean up the scene. It will dissipate in the air by itself.
And when killing ferocious beasts, one must also think about “collecting their bodies”.
After dealing with the body of the black-patterned leopard, Yan Hongyuan and a few others behind him happened to come over. After leaving them with his back, Yang Qing disappeared from their sight again.
"Damn, it's pretty fast.
But this kid is really lucky. After searching such a large area, he didn't even find a lurking ferocious beast.
Hurry up, let's keep up."
Yan Hongyuan didn't know that Yang Qing had easily resolved the battle. He thought that he was just lucky and had never been ambushed by ferocious beasts.
This went on repeatedly, with Yang Qing clearing out the ferocious beasts in the front, while Yan Hongyuan and his companions tracked Yang Qing from a distance behind. After about an incense stick of time, Yang Qing and his companions had completely patrolled the dense forest.
"Damn it, this kid is really lucky, there isn't even a single ferocious beast in this forest!
It seems that this forest was cleared by other caravans not long ago."
Yan Hongyuan smacked his lips and muttered.
Under the command of Yan Hongyuan, the team patrolled the small dense forest. After confirming that there were no other ferocious beasts lurking in the forest, Yan Hongyuan began to assign the night's guard work.
There were six people in the team, not counting Yan Hongyuan. He divided them into two groups, one team on duty in the first half of the night and the other team on duty in the second half of the night, taking turns to rest.
Yang Qing was assigned to the first half of the night group. In his group were a cultivator named Miao Jie and a troublemaker named Deng Kai.
Miao Jie's strength is not very high. According to him, he has only reached the realm of the second soul. Because his original sect was destroyed, he ended up in Miaojiang.
He didn't look very old, probably around fifteen or sixteen years old, and there was a hint of immaturity and a hint of nervousness on his face.
As for the troublemaker named Deng Kai, he was one of the people who laughed at Yang Qing before. According to him, he had the cultivation level of three spirits and came to Miaojiang for the purpose of training.
However, from Yang Qing's perspective, it is more likely that he came to Miaojiang to avoid being wanted or hunted down.
These are the three weakest people in Yan Hongyuan's group, at least that's what Yan Hongyuan thinks.
Some are tender, some are plump, and one is disabled. He specially arranged these three together.
After greeting Miao Jie and Deng Kai for a few words, Yang Qing found a tree, climbed up and hid alone.
After observing for a whole day, he now found too many things wrong.
Before setting off, he thought he had just joined an ordinary caravan, the only difference being that they were traveling in Miao territory.
But now it seems that the caravan he joined is far from being as simple as it seems.
Not to mention the two mysterious figures wrapped in black robes in the middle of the team, the armed ratio of this team alone is far beyond that of an ordinary caravan.
The four captains brought by Manager Huang just now all have the strength of opening the fifth to sixth soul, and this is not the strongest combat force in the team.
Through the observation with the supernatural power of seeing through the wall, at least three people in this team have reached the perfection of the Soul Realm, that is, the stage where the seven spirits of the physical body are fully opened.
With such strength, he could be a deputy commander in the Night Patrol of Hengzhou Prefecture, but in this caravan traveling through Miao Territory, there are three such people.
Yang Qing calculated that the cargo carried on the horses when the caravan set out was far less than the wages of the accompanying personnel.
Even what is displayed on the surface are just for show.
After all, I alone offered a price of 6,500 taels, so what about the others?
Unless there are other invisible goods in the caravan.
But if this is the case, there is still profit after deducting the salaries of the accompanying personnel, and it is still worth the gamble for Huangji Trading Company, then the potential value of this caravan is huge.
Just as he was thinking about this, a black shadow in the distance slowly came into Yang Qing's sight. With his magical power of seeing through walls, he could see everything clearly.
"Sure enough, I knew that this money is not so easy to make!"
Looking at the other party's actions, Yang Qing said helplessly.
